What support is there for this statement?
- dahdum 5y agoI’ll rephrase. While the intent is to topple or pacify the government by starving the regime, this strategy essentially requires the suffering of the people. Happy and content people don’t revolt or push for political change. We are openly doing this to Russia right now, rooting for the economic collapse and stark decline of living standards. In both situations we assume that making life much more difficult for the people now will achieve our goals.
